The most beautiful living space at The Belnord!

Ultra grand, three bedroom home offering nearly 2,300 square feet of classic pre-war scale, incredible architectural detail, and light.

The elegant gallery welcomes you to this special home and sets the tone for grand living. The stunning nearly 32 foot living room has an iconic bay window looking out to the Belnord's planted courtyard with beautiful wall paneling and moldings, high ceilings, and a decorative fireplace. The formal dining room, also magnificently proportioned, features original moldings, another decorative fireplace mantel, a large East-facing window, and ample space for large-scale entertaining. Together these two public rooms represent perhaps the best entertaining space at The Belnord!

Adjacent to the dining room is the eat-in, windowed chef's kitchen with a sizable pantry/laundry room that provides exceptional storage and everyday functionality. Off of the kitchen is the third bedroom, with an en-suite windowed bathroom.

The primary bedroom features excellent closet space, as does the oversized second bedroom. The two bedrooms currently share a large bathroom that can easily be divided into two separate bathrooms, or an additional bathroom can be added elsewhere.

If one chooses to renovate, the current owners have already done most of the legwork with renovation plans already approved by both the building and the City, and brand new top-of-the-line appliances such as Wolf and Sub-Zero already purchased and ready to be installed in the apartment!

Originally constructed in 1908, The Belnord is one of the Upper West Side's most iconic full-block buildings. The attended gate leads to a porte-cochère and a beautifully landscaped 22,000-square-foot courtyard centered around an elegant marble fountain. Residents may briefly park for loading and unloading, and taxis and rideshares can pull directly to your door.

Amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, double-height sports court with basketball hoop, children's and teen playrooms, and a Club Lounge with a separate dining room. The building is fully staffed with a gate attendant, concierge, resident manager, and porters.

Please note that there is a working capital contribution of 2 months common charges paid by the buyer.
